HP cuts price of TouchPad - Updated

Hewlett-Packard has trimmed the RRP of its TouchPad tablet, following unfavourable comparisons with prices in the United States.

From today, the 16GB TouchPad will be available from $679 and the 32GB version for $819. The units were previously priced at $799 and $949 respectively, representing cuts of around 15%.

HP couldn’t be reached for comment, but said in a statement, "HP continually evaluates pricing for its products and is pleased to offer a permanent discounted pricing on the HP TouchPad in New Zealand.

"These new prices are effective as of Thursday 11th August. Our retail partners have been informed of the changes and will make changes in their communications as soon as possible.”
